    Windows won't install on my new nvme SSD


    Recently bought a 1tb Samsung 970 evo plus m.2 SSD to free up the 2.5" SATA SSD I'd been using to give to someone else. I went to migrate the OS etc across to the m.2 ssd which raised an issue with sector sizes but was still able to clone using Casper 11 Software by Future systems. Then when unplugging the 2.5" SSD, the new SSD was not recognised as a bootable drive. I then also tried to just install windows 10 fresh on the new ssd but ran into an issue with GPT vs MBR partitions. I 'solved' this using command prompts in the install software, but that lead to an install loop where after inst

  2. Re-installing windows 10 on new NVMe SSD

    I am about to upgrade my HP laptop with a NVMe SSD. My laptop came with pre-installed windows 10 Home Single language in HDD.

    I want to install windows 10 into NVMe SSD. I like to know the safest process involved to do so. I went trough some website suggesting to use third party software to clone the OS , do some changes in BIOS setting. Can I just make a recovery USB from recovery
    drive in windows and then boot the laptop and install OS in NVMe and format the C drive in HDD? OR is there any other way ?

  3. NVME SSD

    Tried this, and windows still didn't see the nvme ssd. It was a brand new nvme ssd right out of the box. Nothing works.

  4. Windows won't install on my new nvme SSD

    Windows refuses to install on NVME SSD (Samsung 960 EVO)

    First, thanks everyone who copy-pasted the first relevant results they found in Google. I found those before I asked the question.

    The solution that I got to work is as follows:

    • Disable CSM / UEFI
    • Enable Secure Boot
    • Now the installer can access the NVME SSD
      • Format the drive
      • Restart the machine

    • Enable CSM / UEFI

    • Disable Secure Boot

    • Proceed to installer and now Windows will allow you to install to the NVME SSD drive
